Original Vampire

As night fell, the snow finally stopped.

But this does not mean that the hardest time has passed.

Actually, it is not cold when it snows, and the real terrifying is after snow.

Under the order of Marquis Garcia, Black Cavalry camped on the spot and a bonfire was lit.

If you don’t grill it and eat something warm, I’m afraid there will be a non-combat attrition in this army.

Colin didn't go to squeeze the camp tent, but shrank under the belly of the horse, and burned alone.

Actually, there is no warmer inside the camp than under the belly of a horse, and it is more comfortable to be alone.

At least, his drinking of blood will not be noticed by others.

The blood is fox blood, which was saved by a hapless snow fox he caught before.

Of course, while Colin drank blood, he also took out a few bites of hard jerky, lest people find that they don’t eat normal food.

He was eating and drinking while thinking about what Marquis Garcia had said before.

At that time, Colin didn't understand much, but the Marquis didn't explain it in detail either.

Colin didn't follow up, after all, he couldn't ask everything. That would make him a student a bit stupid.

Yes, now Colin is already a student of Marquis Garcia.

Just as he was thinking about Marquis Garcia's true intentions, a silhouette came over.

"Would you like some wine?"

With the light of the fire, Colin saw the person coming.

It is Frank · Dawson Count.

"Of course!" Colin took the wine pouch from Dawson Count and took a gulp.

With one bite, fire seemed to burst from the throat to the stomach, and the whole person became energetic.

"Cool! Good wine!"

Dawson Count laughed heartily, proudly said: "Of course, our dwarves’ spirits can’t be said to be the best in the empire, but it’s definitely The most exciting! Especially suitable for Hah in this damn weather! "

Compared with the mainstream Five Great Races in this World, dwarves are not a Great Influence.

They are distributed all over the Glorious Empire, and the total number is about one million.

Because of the lack of strength, the dwarves have always hugged the thighs of Human Race, claiming to be a vassal race of Human Race.

There are even some rumors that dwarves are actually a subspecies of humans.

However, this statement has not received much recognition.

Because dwarves cannot accept the baptism of church priests and become Knights like humans.

Moreover, Knight is the exclusive profession of Human Race.

Although the dwarves have always claimed to believe in the Lord of Radiance in order to better integrate into humans, it is clear that the Lord of Radiance did not bestow his glory on these dwarves.

So, the warrior of Bad Street became the only occupation for dwarves.

This profession with limited natural potential prevents true powerhouse from being produced among dwarves.

So, this is not a race known for military force.

However, they are good at forging and winemaking.

Especially forging, this skill makes dwarves very popular in the logistics department of the army.

However, the military merit of the logistics department is definitely not as good as the soldiers fighting on the front line. Therefore, very few dwarves can rely on military merit to become nobles.

Not to mention the great aristocracy like Count.

So, this Dawson Count is particularly conspicuous.

And more importantly, his Count position is canonized by Marquis Garcia.

Marquis Garcia is based in the Black Cavalry, and his vassals are basically high level generals in the army.

But he canonized the position of Count under his name to a dwarf.

Moreover, this is the only one Count he canonized.

This is very unusual.

Black Cavalry is a pure cavalry army, and the height of the dwarves limits the possibility of them becoming excellent cavalry.

Moreover, as far as Colin understands, although Dawson Count is a warrior, it is not high in rank.

So, the military merit of Dawson Count is obviously not based on military force.

In Black Cavalry, Dawson Count seems to be the shadow of Marquis Garcia.

Marquis Garcia is the soul of this army and the banner on the surface, and Dawson Count, the Chief Steward behind the scenes, maintains the army's logistical support and tedious daily affairs.

Although Dawson Count's work is mostly unknown, he can be conferred as Count by Marquis Garcia as a dwarf. This shows his importance to Black Cavalry.

Therefore, after Colin entered Black Cavalry, besides Marquis Garcia, the one person he followed most was Dawson Count.

Because of Marquis Garcia's different eyes on Colin, Dawson Count, who is the shadow of the Marquis, is also quite enthusiastic about Colin.

So the two gradually got acquainted.

At this moment, Colin and Dawson Count huddled under the horse's belly, drinking each sip of wine, while chatting about the mountains.

Dawson Count has followed Marquis Garcia for half his life. He has experienced all kinds of winds and waves, and bragging has always been unfavorable.

But he didn't expect, this time he actually let Colin steal the limelight.

Colin directly changed various myths and stories in another world and told Dawson Count to listen to him, and stunned the dwarf Count.

When Dawson Count asked him where he saw these stories, Colin babbled that it was told to him by a passing bard in Greycastle when he was a child.

Of course, Dawson Count couldn't be verified, so I had to continue listening to Colin's flicker.

After all the hustle and bustle, Colin felt very happy.

"I now understand why the Lord Marquis values ​​you so much."

"Why? Why?"

"Because you can blow!"

Colin laughed heartily, of course he knew the other person was joking.

However, he expressed moved and asked: "Master Count, do you really think Master Marquis valued me because of this?"

Seeing Colin's face solemnly, Dawson Count Knowing that the other party was asking sincerely, he put away his joking expression, and asked, "What do you think it is because of?"

Colin took a sip of wine and thought about it for a moment.

"Either it was because of the previous battle in the running river, or it was because of Miss Vera. But... I don't think these two things seem to let the Marquis-sama take care of me like this, right?"

Indeed.

Be aware that the Anglia family is a vassal of Duke Saint Hild, so Colin is an outsider to Black Cavalry, a system that is completely subordinate to Marquis Garcia.

No matter how brilliant Colin’s warfare talents were in his previous escape, and no matter how much Miss Vera has a good impression on him, Marquis Garcia, the god of war in the north, would not let Marquis Garcia take care of him like this. outsider.

Dawson Count hearing this, nodded, and then shook the head, mysteriously said: "hehe. You will know later."

Colin was depressed for a while, this The appetizing answer is the most annoying.

Before he could continue to ask, Dawson Count had already changed the subject abruptly: "Do you know why Lord Marquis doesn't continue to follow the troll army in front?"

This It's actually a question Colin has been thinking about just now.

And I already have some ideas. I saw Dawson Count ask about it, and replied:

"I think the troll army ahead shouldn’t be our top priority. The goal."

"So what is it?"

"Wolf cavalry!" Colin breathed out a sigh of alcohol and said confidently:

" On this flat and wide ice field, only the cavalry can deal with the cavalry. Therefore, the troll wolf cavalry is the only threat to the Black Cavalry. As long as they are found and prioritized to annihilate them, the remaining troll army is the lamb to be slaughtered. "

Dawson Count patted hand, smiled and praised:

"Knight Bulis is right, you are indeed a natural fit for the battlefield."
